Identity and access management (IAM) is a framework of business processes, policies and technologies that facilitates the management of electronic or digital identities. With an IAM framework in place, information technology (IT) managers can control user access to critical information within their organizations. Systems used for IAM include single sign-on systems, two-factor authentication, multifactor authentication and privileged access management. These technologies also provide the ability to securely store identity and profile data as well as data governance functions to ensure that only data that is necessary and relevant is shared.

IAM systems can be deployed on premises, provided by a third-party vendor through a cloud-based subscription model or deployed in a hybrid model.

On a fundamental level, IAM encompasses the following components:

  • how individuals are identified in a system (understand the difference between identity management and authentication);
  • how roles are identified in a system and how they are assigned to individuals;
  • adding, removing and updating individuals and their roles in a system;
  • assigning levels of access to individuals or groups of individuals; and
  • protecting the sensitive data within the system and securing the system itself.
